A Rustic Ham Frittata Makes a Delicious Breakfast
With a bit of leftover ham, you can make a fantastic, savory breakfast in a pretty short amount of time. Pair this with a beautiful assortment of fruit and toast, and you have a healthy, well rounded meal that will last you through the morning. If you don’t have any ham leftover from a previous meal for a Rustic Ham Frittata, grab some ham at the deli, or even in the hot dog case of the grocery store. You can often find diced ham or ham steaks ready for your cooking.
Rustic Ham Frittata Reheats Well
If you are only feeding one or two for breakfast, you have a couple of choices. Make a smaller Rustic Ham Frittata, if you have a small nonstick pan, or you can make a regular one and have some of the best breakfast leftovers you could imagine. Simply place in foil and heat in a 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes, or place on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes.
